My wife got me this model for Christmas, the RG351V, as my first ever handheld emulator. I absolutely love it, and this startup guide is a blessing. Thank you for everything!
Thank you so much for these easy to follow guides. My tech skills are on par with Hank Hill when he asked what a .jpeg was, but with these guides I was able to load my system with roms, get 351 elec, and get gaming! This is a great system and I really appreciate that your guide helps even newcomers get the most out of it 😎👌
If you're watching this in 2023 you no longer need to convert your second (larger) SD to Fat32. 351elec uses exfat which, if you have an SD 64GB or above, should be default. Shut it down, pop the card in, start it up, and it will create a folder structure for roms and bios. You don't need to do that system volume thing. If you're attempting to setup the SFTP it's useername: root and password: amberelec
Hello, I bought an ambernic RG351V device and I could not figure out how to install 351 elec. I downloaded it to a 64 GB SD memory card and wrote it in. When I plug it into the device, a white screen appears and it does not turn on.
351v coming tomorrow, sandisk cards coming today. Have spent the day getting roms sorted out and making sure ive got all the software, firmware and files ready to go. Confident in what I'm doing thanks to these vids, thank you so much! Will put CFW on when its out and you do that guide! :)
for me the best handheld to date!!! i just love this little gadget so much :) the handling is just perfect. the display is also a stunner! up to and including PSX, everything runs perfectly and without any problems. Especially things like SNES , GBA , GB , GBC , FBN , MAME , Mega Drive look just sexy and razor sharp with a filter! But what I love most is the Vertical form factor! I also have horizontal handhelds, but to be honest, I'm nowhere near as happy with them as I am with the RG351V!!! I can really recommend this thing to everyone! Greez
Just got an 351V, and all the resources from RGP are AMAZING! Your're doing a very great job, and every video makes me want to dig more into this system, not just for the emulation of course but for all the tweaking, developer scene and new features.
Hey i wanted to ask you or anyone who owns a 351v..is there a way to turn off the green light in the middle ? while the device is on but not while charging ? thanks alot..
This is fantastic content. As these devices bring in new novice users (like myself) we need help with what will seem very basic set up requirements for people in the retro community. Thank you !
@@RetroGameCorps When you insert SD card into PC it asks if you want to format the card? Why can't i see the contents of it like in the tutorial video ?
Amazing videos, focused topics, excellent exposition, to the point explanations without the usual "Hey Guys!!!" malakie. Well-done Retro Game Corps! Now, onto the real reason for commenting here; your videos convinced me to take the plunge and long behold my super duper new Anbernic RG351V just arrived and of course here I am on with your videos and "How To" guides! Keep the videos coming :-) :-) :-)
i recently received my rg351v. the bios files were NOT stored on the 16G OS card but instead on the included 64G card under /bios, so if you're struggling to find them, check there instead.
Thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out trying to find this folder and would never have thought to check the other card. You have saved me a ton of stress and messing around.
Thank you for this. I’ve been looking into getting my first handheld for some time now and the release of this one made me finally bite the bullet. Time to get to work!
HELP! My problem is, none of my games or systems show up in emuelec whatsoever on my rg351v. If I launch retroarch through the device I can play them just fine by loading content and manually selecting them from my roms folder. The roms location is fat32 and I have updated games list in EMUELEC settings as well as disabled parse gameslist only. Im lost @@RetroGameCorps
Thank you for the details in the video, I think I watched 20 before this one and I appreciate the layman’s terms for the uninitiated . I appreciate you, my friend.
This is exciting, I know they haven’t released CFW yet, but this is a great start for what we have to work with. As always, thank you so much! I’m hoping mine will arrive sometime this week.
@@RetroGameCorps are you able to do this same setup guide for the rg353p please? Need help making new copies of games and system on SD cards thank you!
As you mentioned in this video, some things are broken when dealing with manufacturer updates. The same applies to 3rd party software. Best to stick with what works for you and do not try to update/flash/etc.
I'm having a hard time finding the file library: Games (G:) shown on the left at 5:49 plz help. I got the version that just has the 16gb card and it just has the same stock files that is on your guide.
Looking forward to these! Getting mine soon, been using the ol’ RG300 and 280V. Looking forward to newer interface, sleep modes, and some 2D PSP. Thanks for making these videos!
What do I do if the stock SD card in my RG351V didn't have the bios files? Inside the "games" was only "Bezels" with no discernible BIOS files. Just a few .png's and a "default.cfg"
@@ramsesorozco3 naw, man. This fucking thing is sitting in a box, rotting. I gave up trying to figure it all out. Hope you have better luck than I did.
Followed the steps and as soon as I put in the new firmware flashed card, the screen goes all white and does nothing. Tried downloading the fresh firmware on another SD card, same issue..
bro, all that shit is just too confusing..😮💨🙈😂🙈 i'm gonna run my shit on Stock Firmware i don't care, and if the SD Cards die, i'm just gonna contact Anbernic and order replacement Game SD's. 🫣🙄😒
@@RetroGameCorps Anbernic: you don’t want analog sticks taking up valuable space that can be used for USB and TF. You know what? Screw it - next product is a USB hub with gaming built in.
@@RetroGameCorps while we’re on the subject, why do they do double sd slots in the first place? What good does the separation between OS and game data do when you usually have all the backups on your PC? And if it’s that important, why don’t they put a better card in the OS slot? Are they just afraid you’ll screw up the OS? It already takes a bit of tinkering to set a system up, but even so, why not build the OS card in and offer no external slot for it, like LDK did?
@@wordsmith451 I think their idea was that you could flash new firmware onto the TF1 card and then you wouldn't have to keep transferring over games onto the device all the time. But they didn't factor the fact that CFW like ArkOS never needs a reflash -- I haven't reflashed that card in about four months now! So yeah, two card slots is not really worth it to me.
so i put the 16gb sd card that came with it in my computer and i had to format it but now when i put it back in the console im getting the startup debugg screen and idk how to fix it
@@RetroGameCorps Yea bro. Just got back! I can't wait. About to watch it now. Sonic love just put out a video today also. Something about a image for the RG351V that was released. Don't know if you heard about it yet.
@@RetroGameCorps I didn't watch the whole video of his. I kinda skimmed through it while I was folding my clothes, and he did say there was some bugs in it that needs to be fixed... WHERE CAN I FIND THIS IMAGE?! lol. I got lots of 128 gb sd cards laying around my desk. I'm off all day today and tomorrow! Let's do this! ^_^
i downloaded the file as indicated at 6:20 but it wasn't a file that could be unzipped. like, it just doesnt give me the option to do that. the file that the link gave me is listed as "RG351V_Stock.7z" and it says the file type is 7z. id appreciate it if you could offer some assistance
cant seem to make the rg351v stock into a disk file image after extracting it from winrar. PLease help i cant find anything online to help me tried converting it multiple times with software tools. Pretty sade I just bought this system and there isn't more support. Was really looking forward to using it.
Thank you so much for this guide, it streamlined a somewhat delicate process. Sure, it is all readily available, but you condensed it into everything needed, and provided clear links to everything. Super helpful, and anyone I know who gets hold of this device will be definitely pinpointed to here!
You keep referencing files that don't exist, there is no System Information File, the only file (other than the one I made) labeled GAMES is on the old card that contains the games. This is unclear, please help!
I'm gonna get rid of that awful firmware that I tried yesterday and follow this. This is much better. I just finished watching the second video, but I'm gonna focus on this first.
Hi, i am having trouble to download stock bios. when i put the sd card appears the message "format so you can use it". how can i do to save the stock bios? where can i download it from?
Hi, I just bought a brand new one. The 16GB TF card only 1 [bezels] folder inside contain 4 files 3x .png and 1x .cfg files. I dont have those bios files in my 16gb card shown in your video.
Can you help me, I'm following this video but I found the same files on the 16GB card and no Bios Folder, What did you do to flash the cards please help
So I received my RG351v today. However the 16GB card doesn't have a BIOS folder in the GAMES partition. Only bezels. I also didn't receive the 2nd card with any games. EMUELEC partition is there. How can I get the original BIOS that was supposed to come on the card? I flashed a new card with the stock RG351v firmware but it doesn't include any BIOS. Help?
Problem inserting SD card to PC the PC does not recognise it, and the only option is to format it to use it? Anyway it comes in 3 partitions now days so maybe they changed since this video. So users will need to first delete these volumes and format also the 16GB SD to Fat32 and make 1 partition instead. THEN Flash the card. That Flash Image you linked too seems to divide the Card up into 3 working volumes and 2 unallocated sectors. Spent hours trying to follow this 1 step on your tutorial but its doesn't make sense I'm afraid :( The most confusing part is when you first copied off the BIOS from teh 16gb card at 6:10 so we have it backed up, but when you copy all the folders from GAMES to GAMES (new card) why wasn't your bios copied with the games folders and why were your game folders empty? so confused!!! :(
Make sure you use RUFUS to burn the image. I've read there are reports of being having problems with Etcher with some of these images (for some reason, not sure why, I normally use Etcher otherwise).
Hey man, so I went through the first step of flashing new SD cards, but every time I put it in my laptop, it won't let me access the files without formatting them, which it says will erase all data in the SD card : (. I really like your videos and you were part of the reason I changed my mind from 351M to 351V. Keep it up man :D
@@KelpCakezz they didn't screw up. That's normal. The SD cards 16gb ones when inserted to PC are not readable anymore. Not sure since when, but it's happening to many people now. Maybe it depends when you bought it from but yea you're only given option to format. Doesn't really matter though since the bios files are on the GAMES card anyway so its safe to format, then use the flash after.
My stock SD card's GAMES partition doesn't have a bios folder. The only one it has is "bezels" and there isn't much in there. The two stock cards seem to work fine, meaning I can play all of the games it came with, but I am not sure how to transfer the stock bios files over to my new SD card now.
I just got the device, but on the Games partition on the 16 GB card is only a folder called bezels and in there are only four files?! Will de BIOS be created while usage or any ideas?
For some reason the device won’t read my 132gb Sandisk even though I formatted the GUI fine. I’ll add games and they won’t show up so I’m just using the 64gb card that came with it and it works fine. The 16gb Sandisk had no problem. There were only a few games I wanted to play on it anyway so it’s not like I’ll need the memory. Not throwing shade or anything, this video was actually very helpful.
I'm very frustrated right now. Everything that is on the 16GB is on the 64 that came with mine and the new stock firmware did not gave me an option to extract it.. This is where I'm stuck. I downloaded it and put it into the first folder we made which is where I put the "stock bios folder" and it wont extract there. Also in that folder why does it say stock bios on mine but now in the video? all this confuses me incredibly.
I just got my device in and I am starting this guide at the 6 minute mark you mention the games partition, I see that however mine doesn't have a bios it only has a folder named bezels and on the EMUELEC partition it has the folders: extlinux boot kernel etc so for the desktop folder that I named Stock bios, like in the video, do I just copy that and leave that bezels folder in the games partition alone? What do I copy over so I have a backup of my sd card that came with my device.
When I connected the 16gb sd card (system card) to the pc, my pc keeps telling me to format it. When I ignore it, it shows me the games folder but everything that appears to you, it doesn't on mine.
My wife got me this model for Christmas, the RG351V, as my first ever handheld emulator. I absolutely love it, and this startup guide is a blessing. Thank you for everything!
i brought mine yesterday , are there any game when you just buy it with the 16gb card?
@@asport6540 Only if u pay for that upgrade
OOOOOH lookie who's got a wife who buys him handhelds whoopdiedoo wanna fight about it?
how is the RG351V aging now, 2 years later?

Anyway it comes in 3 partitions now days so maybe they changed since this video. So users will need to first delete these volumes and format also the 16GB SD to Fat32 and make 1 partition instead. THEN Flash the card.
That Flash Image you linked too seems to divide the Card up into 3 working volumes and 2 unallocated sectors. Spent hours trying to follow this 1 step on your tutorial but its doesn't make sense I'm afraid :(
The most confusing part is when you first copied off the BIOS from teh 16gb card at 6:10 so we have it backed up, but when you copy all the folders from GAMES to GAMES (new card) why wasn't your bios copied with the games folders and why were your game folders empty? so confused!!! :(
When I extract the files using winrar it shows status with a red x over the disk image file
Make sure you use RUFUS to burn the image. I've read there are reports of being having problems with Etcher with some of these images (for some reason, not sure why, I normally use Etcher otherwise).
Hey man, so I went through the first step of flashing new SD cards, but every time I put it in my laptop, it won't let me access the files without formatting them, which it says will erase all data in the SD card : (. I really like your videos and you were part of the reason I changed my mind from 351M to 351V. Keep it up man :D
im having this problem too!
What did you end up doing?
“Hey man” the famous phrase when someone screws up
@@KelpCakezz they didn't screw up. That's normal. The SD cards 16gb ones when inserted to PC are not readable anymore. Not sure since when, but it's happening to many people now. Maybe it depends when you bought it from but yea you're only given option to format. Doesn't really matter though since the bios files are on the GAMES card anyway so its safe to format, then use the flash after.
once you flashed the cards they wont be readable on pc anymore hence you get that message
My stock SD card's GAMES partition doesn't have a bios folder. The only one it has is "bezels" and there isn't much in there. The two stock cards seem to work fine, meaning I can play all of the games it came with, but I am not sure how to transfer the stock bios files over to my new SD card now.
I just got the device, but on the Games partition on the 16 GB card is only a folder called bezels and in there are only four files?! Will de BIOS be created while usage or any ideas?
can all this be done with a Mac?
What's a mac? Are they those old pcs that students used in the olden days?
I got the anbernic rg351v but cant save the games for snes, gameboy advance, etc. any help?
I need help mines does not have the bios file in the game section I'm using a MacBook is that matters
For some reason the device won’t read my 132gb Sandisk even though I formatted the GUI fine. I’ll add games and they won’t show up so I’m just using the 64gb card that came with it and it works fine. The 16gb Sandisk had no problem. There were only a few games I wanted to play on it anyway so it’s not like I’ll need the memory. Not throwing shade or anything, this video was actually very helpful.
My TF1 card does have any BIOS files, the only thing in games comes up "bezels"
Can you do the rg280v next? I couldn't find any tutorials on how to run emuelec on the rg280v
I'm very frustrated right now. Everything that is on the 16GB is on the 64 that came with mine and the new stock firmware did not gave me an option to extract it.. This is where I'm stuck. I downloaded it and put it into the first folder we made which is where I put the "stock bios folder" and it wont extract there. Also in that folder why does it say stock bios on mine but now in the video? all this confuses me incredibly.
I'm getting Network error software caused connection abort. When using WinSCP
did you ever figure it out?
On the 353v the bios folder is in my tf2 slot is that normal ?
I just got my device in and I am starting this guide at the 6 minute mark you mention the games partition, I see that however mine doesn't have a bios it only has a folder named bezels and on the EMUELEC partition it has the folders: extlinux boot kernel etc so for the desktop folder that I named Stock bios, like in the video, do I just copy that and leave that bezels folder in the games partition alone? What do I copy over so I have a backup of my sd card that came with my device.
ran into the same issue, the bios files ended up being in the other microSD card it came with, the 64gb one
@@LaytonxGyakuten Mine only came with the 16gb one :(
@Retro Game Corps Just a heads up, the clean firmware link in your written guide no longer works.
I'm trying to manually upload a theme, and that Login/PW combination isn't working in WinSCP. Anyone else experiencing this?
Please help, when I open the GAMES partition from the included 16gb microsd card, only one folder named "bezels" shows up. what am I doing wrong?
My 16 gig did not have bios folder in games folder.
Very Excellent !!! Mon ami :) i hope to see the next part !!!
Thank you! 😃
When I connected the 16gb sd card (system card) to the pc, my pc keeps telling me to format it. When I ignore it, it shows me the games folder but everything that appears to you, it doesn't on mine.
Howdy, there are no bios in my games partition. Are there different versions being shipped now?
Had the same issue, it was in the other SD card
Thank you Good Sir this is Indispensable.
i can't save games, can you help me???
